In the experiments conducted up to now, an electrical power of the order of 0.2 microwatt is extracted by bidistilled water. So, although it is a totally new phenomenon, it should be noted that not negligible electric powers are obtained; e.g. it would already be able to feed a RAM. This obviously leaves hope in the possibility to make new type of "solar cells" operating in the infrared, i.e. even in those conditions that our eyes are considering "dark", always rich of infrared radiation.

The Oxhydroelectric Effect consists in the extraction of an electric current from bi-distilled water, using two identical platinum electrodes, where the current is fed from the simple environmental heat, and mediated by oxygen molecules, and a special polymer,
where electrical current is powered by the simple environmental heat, a kind of infrared photovoltaic cell.
